Meeting a patient’s nutritional needs supports healthy growth, critical care patients and the prevention of illness. This webinar shows how to calculate resting energy requirement (RER) using the formula 70 × body weight to the power of 0.75, with worked examples for dogs and a cat, then how to turn RER into daily energy requirement (DER) using canine and feline DER factor charts.
It then explains metabolisable energy (ME) and where to find it, and works through calculating the volume of food to feed per day, including converting grams into cans for a wet diet.
Presented by Kiara Stoboi as part of the ACVN webinar series.
